Welcome to Episode 352 of the 3 Minute Mantra Podcast with Aaralyn Shiri! Today's mantra is Ganesha Sharanam. This mantra is about removing obstacles, and I love to focus on heart opening while singing this mantra. The Sanskrit word, “sharanam,” means refuge…and many times, we close off our heart because of childhood trauma, in an attempt to protect ourselves. So opening up our heart might not feel safe. But what Liana Shanti teaches is that you are always safe with a wide open heart to Jesus and the Divine. You can come back to the mantra only portion every day, to take a quick break and connect with yourself and your voice. Don’t worry if you mess up the words or what you sound like! Just come back to the present moment and sing with me for 3 minutes. Connect with your body and feel the vibrations. ~Aaralyn 3 Minute Mantra Only You can find my music on: Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/aaralyn-shiri/1504815886 Sound Cloud: https://soundcloud.com/aaralynshiri Band Camp: https://aaralynshiri.bandcamp.com/ Instagram.com/AaralynShiriMusic Facebook.com/AaralynShiriMusic This is a public episode.
